Hi Everyone,

 

a quick introduction here.  In June I picked up a new A3 TFSI S Line Black Edition in Ascari blue.  After a few minor quality issues I am now extremely happy with my purchase.  Not going to bore everyone with the minute details but I had to deal with:

1. Loose number plate on the rear (Dealer fitted wrong clips)

2. Wrong puddle lights (no Audi rings) had to go back twice as they fitted exactly the same (incorrect lights) on the first visit

3. MMI software problems (settings not being saved) more on this in a separate post.  We think we have solved the problem.

 

hi,i like the colour and the wheels.i can't believe they fitted the same puddle lights twice lol.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 lovely looking A3.

10 minute job once they got hold of the correct parts

Cheers, I will have to get mine changed👍

Just changed them, well worth it took me 20 minutes.Regards Greg

Picked our A3 black edition yesterday after a 2 month wait from ordering...

Puddle lights not in place but in glove box, dealer fitted them immediately and took 1 min each door 🙌

Afternoon,

I’m new to this forum and wanted to share my experience. I took delivery of the exact same car as the original poster and encountered the same MMI issue, which was sorted quickly. However, since then, I’ve been experiencing performance problems with the car cutting out at low speeds (around 20mph).

The car has been back to the dealer twice and is scheduled for a third visit. Unfortunately, I get the impression the dealer is reluctant to take it in again, as the fault is very intermittent and not easily replicated.

I’m not a mechanic, but based on some research and conversations with the service adviser and technician, my educated guess is that the issue might be related to the mild hybrid/start-stop system.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, was it resolved? It’s incredibly frustrating, and after spending hard-earned money on the car, you expect better reliability.

Good guess. See this

Yours is a similar model but the technology will be the same.
